From the Glenn L. Martin Aviation Museum archive, an inboard profile painting of the diminutive Martin Midget ground attack plane.
Note that much more on the Midget can be seen here.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
This layout is going to make it very hard to figure out how to eject the pilot in an emergency, although looking at the cutaway, it appears that the whole forward fuselage is a escape capsule, with the parachute installed above the pilot’s feet.
Feet? So either he lands headfirst, or the risers attach at the nose proper and must be trusted to unfurl without fouling. Sounds sketchy either way.
